Kyosho Turbo Optima

[UK Vintage(2)]

Hi all,

Seems to be little support for Kyosho over here. I was always as in to them as Tamiya- a little more hardcore I reckon. Anyway, managed to get myself a Turbo Optima as I always wanted one when I was a kid. Anyone know much about them or where I can get parts?

Thanks

What sort of spares are you after?

I have what I belive is a Turbo Optima Rolling chassis (but I could be wrong it might be off a Salut) anyway, as a chassis its about 90% complete and I also have a few additional parts for it as well.

Im not exactly sure what I want to do with it, I alreday have a running Optima pro, but maybe you could make better use of it.

Im open to offers if your interested

wldnas, you wouldn't happen to have an extra the top and bottom belt covers for the optima would you?

Here's my Turbo Optima. It's missing a few parts and the body is pretty messed up. It's on my restore list and I've slowly been aquiring parts, but I haven't really gotten into it. The first pic is of the car when I pulled it out of storage. The second pic after being cleaned and polished.

Hi widnas! Any chance of you sending me any more details? I have now got mine... It was a good buy, I think- has nerf bars and motor protector on the back and is in reasonable condition. All the bottom of the chassis seems to be scratched to bits so if yours looks good, I would be interested. If you have any pics e-mail them to me at felix.bradshaw@uk.insight.com. many thanks,
